From all appearances: RG, Shape of Core, differential, Mass Bias rating, coverstock,finish etc, it appears to be Mo's INTERPRETATION of the Roto-Grip Cell.

I suppose we will see tons of this imitation over the next year or so.

From the ad in BJI, this is Mo's attempt at making a ball usable on most THS...something controllable, nothing too strong, but still with a nice move.

Son had one drilled up and the ball is what Mo intended. It looked great with a nice even arc with plenty of power on the backend. We need to go have a weight hole drilled on the gradient line to give him a little more reaction. But the ball seemed to do what he was looking for it to do. I have one and will be getting it drilled up this week and try it.

I heard 2 1/2 years ago that the Rotogrip division was going to be patterned after Morich, nothing wrong with that but hey that's what the real deal is.

Btw this came straight from the Storm/Rotogrip rep at the time, one of those guys let go with hardly any notice.

I'm a fan on Mo's gear, so I willing concede that bias. However, I don't understand this comparison of the Cell core to the Solid LevRG or any Morich ball for that matter.

I watched the pro shop presentation of the Cell on You Tube (excellent btw, I hope other companies follow suit) and it's my understanding that the core was designed to be a symmetrical behaving, asymmetrical core. Also, it was explained that was core shape was designed such that the gripping holes avoid hitting the core and altering it's shape and properties.

In my opinion and limited knowledge both of those concepts are total opposite from Mo's design theory. His cores are strongly asymmetrical behaving, asymmetrical cores. Anyone that has had one with an improper layout can attest to that. Also the cores are designed to be drilled into.

LOL,

The Cell is Roto's interpretation of Mo's Ravage......

I seriously doubt they tried to imitate a ball made 4 years ago.

quote:

Cell .056 Rg diff. .018 Intermediate, Solid LevRG .041 Rg diff. .027 Intermediate in 15#. 2.520, 2.530 Low Rg respectively. BTW, the Ravage was 2.50 Low Rg, .047 Rg diff. and .018 Intermediate diff. as you can see they are very different animals (Solid LevRg and Cell, not Cell and Ravage)...

Not really. Surprised you saying a ball's similarity is based ONLY on a core's specs. If you re-read what I wrote, I also added coverstock and finish. Mostly what I noticed when I said that was MoRich's own words, "With so much Consistent, Reliable, and Controllable power, ..." and similar jargon.

[uote]
The Cell is the closest ball out to the Ravage (with a little more Rg diff. to make up for the weaker cover) since .... the Ravage.

How long ago was the Ravage released?

?? You're right, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

Precision[/quote]

FOUR years ago. I doubt it would have taken any ball designer 4 years to make a similar ball. However, given Mo's monumental and very sensitive ego, I can see where he would have gotten VERY upset over the very rapidly growing popularity of the Cell and its special asymmetric core. Special given the designer's own presentation on YouTube, as seen from the RG forum.

Having seen more than a few Ravage's and thrown and seen the Cell in other's hands, they are nothing alike in ball reaction. While the Ravage had its good points, MoRich allowed it to be discontinued. That surprised given how popular it was.

I'm not that gullable Precision

If I was I would have raced down to the pro shop and ordered a Cell after watching the video.

Here is the thread with links to videos. I would be interested to hear your opinion on certain portions of the presentation. Send me a PM if necessary.

So, does this mean no one has really thrown one?

I'm just wondering if its what its supposed to be. I want something that I can get a little farther down the lane then my levrg but turn earlier then the Nsane. Really also is it as controllable as it should be pretty much. Have you thrown one yet? I know you have thrown most of the recent equipment.

Is it similar to the AFi? I have an Afi that is pretty strong but does good once my LevRGs start over hooking.
